Adventure with Goatman
While lying on the grass in the front yard, I imagined the exciting night ahead. Before long, Taylor and his girlfriend, Kara, arrived and picked me up. Almost immediately, I stood up and sauntered in my Duke sweatshirt and basketball shorts over to their car. I jumped into the backseat. Immediately, I was assaulted with the strong smell of perfume that had been sprayed inside the car because it belonged to Kara. Tonight instead of driving, she decided to let Taylor drive illegally without a license. As we drove off to Erik’s house, the rendezvous for tonight’s “Goatman” adventure, we saw a police officer had just pulled a car over. As we drove by, we breathe easier and relaxed because we didn’t see any more cops on the way.
After arriving at Erik’s house, Taylor kissed his girlfriend goodbye. When we go inside we are affectionately kissed and jumped on by Erik’s dogs. After watching TV and eating the pizza Eric cooked, we waited for the rest of the team for tonight’s adventure to arrive. Finally, Caleb and the rest of the crew showed and we prepared the battle van for the evening. We stopped for gas and six of us stuffed ourselves into the five person battle van. We were off to Lynden to investigate the claims regarding “The Goatman.”
Driving down the road, Caleb decided to test the brakes and acceleration of the van. While he slammed his foot between the brakes and the gas pedal, we were jolted throughout the van. Caleb laughed as we were thrown around unexpectedly. Soon we were just on our way to Lynden filled with anticipation. The energy in the van was high. The adventure and thrill had us excited and apprehensive. We talked and joked most of the way. Nearing Lynden, we began to calm down but we had a nervous anxiety that stirred in us. Arriving at the Goatman’s house, at 666 Badger Road, the uneasiness in the van could be felt. We were
